Warriors: Legends of Troy is gonna come out in few weeks time. For the official site progress, I’m doing it so expect for more new characters and information. Today, I’m gonna share the Battle Controls here. Been playing this for months, from the expo demo and the updated version, must say I’m actually impressed with its atmosphere, great background design (it’s not dull), it’s quite different than Dynasty Warriors series because you don’t have impossible costumes to wear on the battlefield with crazy weapon and fancy finishing moves, this one is more realistic and gory. I personally like the boss battle and also being able to pick up the weapon straight from the battlefield and throw it to the opponent.

I also suggest you to visit @Lead_wotawaster‘s blog with his Warriors: Legends of Troy posts HERE as it’s very informative. Now let’s go straight to the Battle Controls explanation with PlayStation 3 controls as a reference.

QUICK ATTACK (Square button)
– A quick attack that’s useful to strike a large group and weaker enemies.
– You can press Square button repeatedly for a Quick Combo and execute different combos by pressing Triangle or (X) button.

FOCUSED ATTACK (Triangle button)
– A powerful thrust that can pierce a single enemy’s defenses.
– You can press the Triangle button repeatedly to perform other attacks for combos.

STUN ATTACK ((X) button)
– A Stun Attack is a quick kick or shield strike that does no damage to an enemy, but will knock them back away from your character or stun them briefly – I normally press (X) to break the enemy officer’s shield then Triangle to finish him off.

FINISHER (Triangle button)
– If the situation is right, you may be able to eliminate enemies with a dramatic finisher attack.
– Catch a critically injured enemy off guard, stunned or on the ground and the Triangle button icon may appear above them, indicating that the enemy can be taken out with style.

LOCK-ON (Hold L1 button)
– Hold down the L1 button to lock on to one nearby enemy, making it easier to attack or throw weapons.
– Your character will turn to face the locked-on enemy, even when they are moving.

FURY ((O) button)
– The Fury Gauge will fill up as you attack enemies. Once it’s filled, press the (O) button to enter the Fury. This will stun nearby enemies for a moment, slowing time and making your character’s attacks much more powerful.
– Once in Fury, the Fury Gauge will deplete until it is empty, at which point Fury will end and the character will return to normal strength.

BLOCK / PARRY (R1 button)
– Hold the R1 button to block an enemy’s attack.
– Tap the R1 button just before being attacked, you will parry and stun the enemy for a moment. If the timing of hitting the R1 button is perfect (Perfect Parry), you will perform a powerful counter-attack.

PICK-UP / DROP (L2 button)
– When you go near to a dropped weapon, you can press the L2 button to pick it up.
– While carrying an enemy’s weapon, you can press the Square button to perform a Quick Attack.
– While carrying an enemy’s weapon, you can press the Triangle button to throw it.
– You can press the L2 button again to drop it.
– You can also lock on to an enemy before throwing a weapon to increase your accuracy.

That’s it for now. You can check out the latest screens of Warriors: Legends of Troy (like the boss battle against Griffin and Cyclops above) by clicking HERE. The official website is www.troy-game.com – any question, feel free to ask.

Today, I’ll be talking about available Modes in Dynasty Warriors 7. They are: Story Mode (known as Musou Mode in Japanese), Conquest Mode (known as Chronicle Mode in Japanese), Gallery, Encyclopedia, Options and Tutorials. Actually there’s another one, which is Continue, this is to resume the battle from your previously saved game.

STORY MODE
In this mode, you can select a kingdom (Shu, Wei, Wu, Jin) and play through their story. You can pick your difficulty level – Beginner, Easy, Normal, Hard or Chaos. In Story Mode, you can only play it in one player, so no offline split screen or online co-op in this mode. The officer you play as is predetermined for each stage as well. I think this is for a better story telling and also for the sake of seamless play which you start it with the cutscene then the character goes straight to the battle. You can save the game while you’re playing, also you can choose previously cleared scenario to play through again with the predetermined character for that particular stage.

CONQUEST MODE (more info)
You can play various stages to take over the whole map. For this one, you can select any officer you want to play as, and change your officer any time you want. And as you proceed through the game, you can unlock the additional officers as well. You can do a split screen offline co-op and online co-op in this mode. If you want to know more information about Conquest Mode, please go HERE. A big thanks to Shadowclaimer – I’m in tears!

TUTORIAL
You play as Guan Ping and learn how to play the game. There are several missions for this one, no harm to try as I’ve learned how to use the EX attack from here.

Closing Comments:
I think the next one from me is probably the City Facilities or the Weapons analysis, will keep you updated when the time comes. At the meantime, please enjoy these new trailers for Wu and Shu which have just been released few hours ago.

I’ve also attached the battle music which I’ve found on YouTube. Shu Battle is definitely my cup of tea! Actually, they’re all good, it’s really just because I’m one of the Shu fanboys…
